My topic is Francisco Pizarro. He was a Spanish conquistador who conquered the Incas. He was born in Spain and lived with his mom's family, who were farmers. His dad was a low medium ranking noble in Trujilo. Pizarro was one of the many illegitimate sons of his dad. Pizarro was uneducated and could not read. Hearing of the fortunes in the newly discovered Americas, he decided to sail there in 1502.
While he was in the Americas he accomplished many things. He was on the first exploration that discovered the Pacific ocean. For this and other things he was put on the town council in Panama. After years in the Americas, Pizarro wanted to see if there was a wealthy empire in south America that he heard about. A few years of exploring South America he gathered an army and conquered the Incas
